Russia Recalls Spies--They're Out of Work

MOSCOW — Russia is recalling spies from Europe because they don't have enough work, the Russian Itar-Tass news agency said Tuesday.

"We have already begun reducing our intelligence network in Germany and other countries," the news agency quoted a Russian foreign intelligence spokeswoman as saying. It did not specify which other countries would see their Russian spy community cut. Nor did it give any figures.
